Walnut Ridge School District was a school district headquartered in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.
It served most of Walnut Ridge, College City (now a part of Walnut Ridge), Alicia, and a small section of Black Rock.
[1] Prior to August 26, 1957, the district sent, via contract, high school-aged African-American children to Booker T. Washington High School in Jonesboro, Arkansas, which was operated by the Jonesboro School District.
On that day the Jonesboro district's board of trustees ended the contract.
